Big game for us on Wednesday. Injuries mounting up and some fitness issues, potential subs in brackets:
Kelleher
Gomez (Alexander-Arnold)
Konate
van Dijk (c)
Tsimikas (Robertson)
Gravenberch
Mac Allister (Endo)
Salah
Jones (Szoboszlai)

Alexander-Arnold
Quansah
Nallo
Robertson
Szoboszlai
Endo
Morton
Nyoni
Hill
Gakpo
Injured:
Alisson
Bradley
Elliott
Jota
Chiesa
Injuries are starting to mount up for us with Bradley joining the above with an injury suffered during the international break. Jota won’t play after his ribs being crushed by Tosin on Sunday. Will have to wait and see if Elliott or Chiesa are back but don’t think either are in training so chances are low.
I’ve had a look at the squad we named and notice Nallo and Hill are listed, Davies will also likely make the squad to provide extra GK cover.
Leipzig are coming off the back of a 2-0 win away at Mainz and currently sit 2nd in the Bundesliga and look a real good team. Notable players include former Reds goalkeeper and Peter Gulacsi who captains the German side. They also have Slot’s former right back Lutsharel Geertrudia and exciting talents Xavi Simons and Benjamin Sesko. They line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation with Lois Openda leading the line.
This is going to be a stern test for us, possibly our hardest game of the season so far, Slot will surely have an eye on the game on Sunday away at Arsenal too.
Think this will be a 1-1 draw but I’m hoping we speak a win.
